Episode 55 - Living in Flow with your Menstrual Cycle with Charlotte Pointeaux

In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Charlotte Pointeaux. Charlotte is a Menstrual cycle coach, speaker, entrepreneur and mother. She empowers children and parents on the transformative journey of puberty and the menstrual cycle. Her First Moon Circles school, trains global menstrual cycle educators to foster period positivity and open communication. In this powerful conversation, we talk about how Charlotte came to be doing this work and why it is that our collective cultural awareness about the menstrual cycle is so limited. She describes the seasons of our cycle and how we can live so deeply connected to the rhythm of our flow. We talk about how I supported my daughter as she approached puberty. Charlotte shares the profound impact of how we experience our first cycle on all the other rites of passage we experience as mothers, because it teaches us how to relate to and trust our bodies and cycles. She shares the importance of healing our parts around our menstrual cycle and what we have learnt about being a woman, in order to start to really embody the changes that we want to pass on to our children and experience for ourselves in the next chapters of our womanhood. We discuss the impact on the wider culture and the future of the world of increased awareness, understanding and connection to our bodies and our power, in order to bring change to the current capitalist, patriarchal system.
